They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 435 Illusion: "Aren't best friends and colleagues just for betraying?"

After Danheng and Xingxiao reached an agreement, they notified Jingyuan and the Ten Kings Division to send people over.

Soon, Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and Huo Huo arrived.

Leaving aside Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan for the time being, as the de facto top two leaders of Luofu, they will definitely come to see Xing Xiao now that they have captured him.

As for Huo Huo, all I can say is that the Ten Kings' Division is truly out of people at this time. The Judge of the Detention Division is not here, so Huo Huo has to fill in for now.

After the three arrived, Dan Lei explained the situation and then handed the [Suihuang] source fire chains that were binding Dan Bi to Jing Yuan, restricting them only to her neck and wrists so as not to affect her walking.

Although he was certain that he wouldn't get anything out of Xingxiao, Jingyuan was obligated to take him back for questioning to shut some people up.

As for the opening match performance match originally scheduled for the Legion War between Jingyuan and Feixiao, it will now be replaced by Danlei and Xingxiao.

You asked why we should use Dan Lei in Legion Wars? Isn't Jing Yuan's win rate higher?

Dan Lei stated that the result of this competition is no longer important to Luofu.

Danlei agreed to Xingxiao's participation in the match because of his personal needs; he couldn't allow Jingyuan's reputation to be damaged.

After all, in a fair and open competition, General Xianzhou Shence lost to Juemie Dajun Xingxiao, which dealt a huge blow to Jingyuan's reputation.

The other two generals were in the same situation.

Therefore, Danlei cannot allow this risk to occur.

On the contrary, isn't it normal for Dan Lei, who doesn't command troops in battle, to lose to the commander of the antimatter legion in terms of military command?
It's like Bolt losing to Phelps in swimming, but nobody would think Phelps could outrun Bolt in a sprint.

Moreover, since both sides used Star Peace Corporation's forces in the opening and demonstration battles, the forces did not know who their specific commanders were and would only follow orders.

Therefore, Danlei is not without a chance of winning; after all, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to battlefield tactics.

Soon, it was time for the opening match to begin.

Topa has prepared two armed landing regiments from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, each with a thousand men, and each carrying two hundred small mechs and thirty medium-sized engineering mechs.

The weapons and equipment are consistent, without heavy weapons such as fortress tanks, but each soldier has all the weapons that can be carried, and is equipped with all-terrain armored vehicles that can carry the entire regiment's personnel and equipment, as well as various electronic warfare equipment.

In terms of personnel, neither side had any Destiny Walkers; all soldiers were employees who had undergone normal military training by the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

Topa didn't know who would command the two forces, so she tried her best to balance their strengths.

The only possible error lies in the individual capabilities of the soldiers.

But this was the limit of what she could do; it was impossible to expect every soldier to have the same personality and abilities.

Since only these two legions are available, normally it doesn't matter which one Danlei or Xingxiao chooses.

However, when Dan Lei was looking at the personnel list, he noticed that Lyndon Scott's name appeared as the platoon leader of a mech unit.

Clearly, Toppa, unable to immediately mobilize a large number of combat personnel, directly requisitioned Scott's team, which was stranded in Luofu due to the Bu Li Ren mech incident.

Scott's market development department and Topa's strategic investment department were bitter rivals.

But Scott was just a minor supervisor and had no way to disobey Toppa's orders.

What's more, he had just lost the contest with March 7th, although he didn't say things like "Only a pig would want a company mecha!" in public because he bit a female colleague's butt after turning into a lone wolf.

However, it undeniably damaged the reputation of the company's mechs.

Therefore, his superior gave him a death order: if he couldn't salvage the company's mech reputation in the Legion War, he would be sent to the border fortress ship of Tatarion, just like his former friend and romantic rival, and promotion would be out of the question.

Topa naturally gave Danlei this kind of small piece of information for free.

Upon seeing this, Dan Lei did not hesitate to choose the legion that Scott belonged to.

It's easy to imagine the fighting prowess Scott could muster in order to avoid going to the frontier.

Moreover, this person is officially recognized as a master-level pilot by Star Iron Games in terms of mecha piloting.

In other words, the strongest Star Iron pilots are destined to be travelers of destiny. No matter how strong they are at piloting mechs, they are just high-level cannon fodder. Otherwise, Scott might have become famous as a renowned ace pilot in the universe.

After selecting the legion to command, the simulation battle will officially begin.

Turning our attention to the commentary booth, we learned that the Interstellar Peace Company had sent Jimi over for this martial arts ceremony.

With the new project launched, Jimi was naturally assigned to be the host again.

During this period, Jimi was both tired and happy. Although hosting at least two shows a day was tiring, the overtime pay and overseas assignment fees were really generous.

Luo Fu also provides energizing pills and throat-protecting pills without side effects, which is why he was able to persevere.

So, it's the same familiar opening, the same familiar flavor.

"Whether or not your world has the concept of day and night, I wish you a good morning, noon, and evening! I am your good friend—Gimmy!"
Welcome, everyone, to the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony, the Legion Battleground.

Please allow me to introduce our guest commentators for the opening battle of this Legion War: General Jing Yuan of Luofu Divine Strategy and the adorable daughter of the Immortal Dragon Lord Yuyang, Miss Xiao Huanlong.

After Jingyuan and Xiaohuanlong greeted the audience, Jimi asked mysteriously again.

"General Jingyuan, although I already have the participants for the opening battle of this legion war, their names are still kept secret, and even I don't know them."

Could you please tell me what kind of guests require such secrecy?

Regarding the question about Jimi, Jingyuan simply smiled and said...
"Mr. Jimi, I cannot reveal too much information about the contestants."

In short, their identities are incredibly impressive; I can only sit here as a guest commentator.

Jing Yuan's words had whetted the audience's appetite, and Jimi took the opportunity to flip to the next page, preparing to announce the contestants after maximizing the mystery.

However, as soon as Jimi flipped through the manuscript, he began to tremble involuntarily, and the fear in his expression could be seen even through the screen.

Fortunately, Little Illusion flew directly to Jimi's side, patted his head, and then laughed.
"Mr. Jimi's fear tastes just like bubble gum, not bad, not bad."

Yes, Xiao Huanlong swallowed Jimi's fear in front of countless viewers and prevented the live broadcast accident.

After overcoming her fear, Jimi instantly regained her composure and echoed Xiao Huanlong's words.

"Thank you, Miss Xiao Huanlong. This list is truly amazing. I never expected that this person would come to participate in the Luofu Martial Arts Ceremony."

Now, I announce that the two sides in this competition are, respectively, Lord Danlei, the Dragon Sovereign of Luofu, the Lord of the Yang Realm.

And, the absolute catastrophe of the universe, the general of the Destroyer Star God [Nanook], the supreme commander of the Antimatter Legion—the Annihilation Lord Star Roar!!!
This battle operates under a double covert rule, meaning combat units cannot know who their commander is; they can only receive orders.

Commanders on both sides were also unable to obtain any intelligence through means other than troop communication. To prevent soldiers from engaging in passive combat, during battle, commanders were prohibited from revealing the identities of either their own or the enemy's commanders in any way, nor were they allowed to do so; any violation would result in immediate defeat…

While Jimi was explaining the competition rules, Danlei and Xingxiao, who were sitting in front of their respective command room electronic sand tables, were already shown on the live broadcast.

Danlei, needless to say, is in his Vidyadhara form, surrounded by several robots that relay orders. He is currently examining a 3D map of the battle location.

As for Xingxiao, at Danlei's request, although she was still possessing Danbi, she was showing her true form to the outside world, and was also studying the terrain map that had been made public to both commanders.

It's not surprising that Xingxiao revealed her face. Her appearance is no secret among the major powers in the universe, and she's not scary at all.

Furthermore, as a being resurrected from the ashes of the Infinite Chieftain, Xingxiao might even respond to the calls of some civilizations to their families.

Then bring equal destruction upon the Summoners and their enemies.

Therefore, the mere mention of the name "Extinction Great Monarch Star Howl" is enough to stop a child from crying.

The chat, which was discussing why Jing Yuan would personally be a commentator during the live stream, suddenly stopped, as if the entire live stream had frozen.

However, the few virtual donation comments floating above the live stream proved that the live stream was not lagging at this time.

The royal family of Aden rewarded the Great Lord of Annihilation with 10 Star Howling Supernovas.
Grand Duke Augur rewarded the Annihilation Grand Duke with the Star Howl Joy Mask ×9999999
The Immortal Python Master Gu Si rewarded the Imperial Physician Immortal Branch of the Yang Lord with 999
Honestly, these three donations are just stirring up trouble.

A thousand years ago, the foehn winds unleashed a massive cyclone storm on the planet Aden, shattering its ecosystem to pieces. Even now, the storm shows no signs of abating.

Even if there is life on this planet, it cannot connect to the interstellar peace network. Obviously, someone stole the original account of the royal family of Aden and made donations.

It's obvious that Fenfeng wouldn't do such a thing; it must have been done by either Huanlong or Guiji.

Even at the very least, he was someone who had a lot of contact with Xingxiao, and he was involved with Zhu Wanggan.

However, Huanlong and Guiji clearly felt that their presence was not strong enough.

The Augur Ring was destroyed by the Annihilation Lord. Even pirates and criminals avoid places targeted by the Annihilation Lord, fearing they might be targeted by these cosmic mobile calamities.

Therefore, this so-called First Grand Duke of Augur must be a minor account of the Duke of Guiji.

As for the Longevity Python Gu Si, that is Huan Long's identity in Bu Li Ren. She gave Dan Lei a reward, which was full of wicked humor.

Of course, all of the above are secrets that the vast majority of viewers are unaware of.

Those who know the truth will only sigh that the Great Lord of Annihilation has a truly perverse sense of humor, without giving it much thought.

After the three donations, the screen was filled with exclamation marks, and some of the comments were filled with emotion.

"The Great Lord of Annihilation actually dares to travel alone to the Immortal Ship Luofu to participate in the competition?"

"No, why is Xingxiao still alive? My hometown was destroyed by the antimatter legion she led. Why don't the Immortal Ship people just kill her? Luofu doesn't have the no-kill rule of Avalon, does it?"

"This is the Great Monarch of Annihilation, Star Roar? It's kind of cute, how so?"

"A mere Star Howl? I finished the battle in less than five minutes."

……

Seeing the screen filled with comments—some questioning, some indignant, and others just trash-talking—Jing Yuan's expression immediately turned serious, and he explained...

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not doubt that Luofu Immortal Ship and the Great Monarch of Annihilation, Xingxiao, have cooperated."

Not long ago, Xingxiao led his army to attack Luofu, causing heavy casualties to my Yunqi.

As for Xingxiao, I wish I could send him straight to the deepest hell, so he could never rise again.

However, the Star Howl that came to Luofu at this time was not its true form, but an avatar.

Furthermore, he was despicable and shameless, showing no respect whatsoever, and directly arrested Yu Yangjun's former mentor and friend to threaten him into a battle.

Moreover, this person dared not engage in direct combat with Lord Yuyang, and insisted on using his unskilled legion command to determine the outcome.

"Lord Yuyang is forced to accept the challenge because of the lives of his mentor and friend; otherwise, I, General Luofu, would certainly be the one to participate in the simulation battle."

Jing Yuan felt no pressure at all when criticizing Xing Xiao, and what he said was basically the truth.

Upon hearing this, most of the audience immediately understood the situation and expressed that Xingxiao was shameless. He resorted to underhanded tactics when he couldn't beat others, and he even wanted to embarrass them in front of the entire universe.

Seeing the excited chatter in the comments, Xiao Huanlong also spoke up.

"Don't worry, everyone, the master might not necessarily lose."

As far as I know, when Master first clashed with Xingxiao, he was very weak and unable to contend with the Commander.

However, he and the Pure Knights still managed to delay the fleet directly commanded by Starscream, giving the reinforcements a chance to defeat them.

Including what followed, Xingxiao had contact with his master three times, and each time he suffered a loss, so I believe this time will be no exception.

As soon as Xiao Huanlong said that, the comments section immediately expressed that they believed him.

Then the discussion went off-topic because someone suddenly pointed out the implications of Huanlong and Danlei's desperate resistance, as well as her identity.

Then, the comments section immediately veered off-topic to certain adult content.

After all, Dan Lei's reputation as a "killer" is deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Xing Xiao looks quite appealing, so he shouldn't look down on her.

However, the current atmosphere in the bullet comments was created by Huanlong; she's the one who started the trend.

Whether there are best friends among the Great Lords of Extinction is unknown, but Xingxiao is willing to call Huanlong a colleague, which proves that their relationship is definitely not bad.

Therefore, Huanlong didn't hesitate at all when he started making up the Star Howl Ballad.

After all, the combination of being a best friend and a colleague is basically a setup for betraying someone.

Its purpose was to instill the idea that Dan Lei had an affair with the Great Lord of Annihilation in people's hearts and let it take root.

If Dan Lei makes some mistakes in the future, this seed can be used to push him and the Immortal Boat Alliance into the eye of the storm, and even make them fall into the abyss of condemnation and be despised by the world.

Of course, Huanlong's current actions are just a prelude; she doesn't have the ability to predict the future, otherwise she would definitely slap her past self in the face.

As for Guiji, the more outrageous the joke, the more he likes it.

The last time they met, Dan Lei and Fei Xiao worked together to cut off one of his hands. Although it wasn't a serious injury, it has now healed.

But the pain of losing his hand was something Dan Lei remembered, which led to his joining forces with Huanlong and Xingxiao to cause trouble for Luofu this time.
